Schedule Update [updated 1:51 p.m.]

Through an exhaustive search of opponent official websites and some fan site message boards, we were able to identify a few more key dates on the Cornell Big Red's upcoming 2009-2010 schedule. Below is a glimpse of the 31 projected games. Thus far we have identified 29 known Division I opponents.

The Big Red traditionally play a game on New Years Eve and there appears to be two remaining open dates -- December 31 and January 11. These two open dates could potentially be filled by a visit to Boston University (a return game for last season), another Division I team(s) or by the traditional Division III team(s).

All games listed below are tentative until formally announced by Cornell Athletics. In addition, we list below the key dates on the Cornell 2009-2010 academic calendar for purposes of evaluating potential student body attendance at home games.

Any thoughts on the possibility of playing Ursinus on December 31st? I know with them being a Division III school it would be really unlikely that Cornell would play at Ursinus, but we are playing La Salle in Philly just 2 days before and the way we handled them last year I dont think it would be much of a risk to play them on the road. If we can't get another division I opponent for that day do you think there's any chance we play at Ursinus on the 31st?
